chris i'm surprised you didn't take the ring of might from the Anshar shrine
I considered it. I even talked with others during the 'LARP' portion of the event (whilst avoiding the dwarves!).
But A) I don't expect legendary items (especially robes) to be very common, whereas a ring of might may be relatively common.
B) as far as I can tell, robes do not count as armor. Legendary Robes grant 1 armor, even though they aren't armor in and of itself, which means my Ansharan priest can wear them.
C) You can enchant the robes with spells like Benediction of the Gods, and thus Skin of Thorns would stack.
Legendary Robes: +1 AV (Armor Value)
Adapted Benediction of the Gods: +2/+3 Armor
Skin of Thorns: AR 2 (or, since it doesn't fully stack, AR +1)
Short term, the rings were better for me, but I think I can find another set of Rings. Long term, I believe the Robes are better, as I'm not likely to find another 'Legendary Robe' anytime soon, and, since I can't wear armor, I now have a place for armor based runes.
D) Can you imagine the look's on people faces seeing a gnome wearing High Priest robes from the first Imperium?!?!?!
